DMCA Notice & Counter-Notice Procedure

StageTile complies with the notice-and-takedown procedure set out in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §512.

Designated Agent

Copyright notices under §512(c)(3) must be directed to StageTile’s designated agent, as registered with the U.S. Copyright Office:

[DESIGNATED-AGENT-NAME]
[DESIGNATED-AGENT-STREET]
[DESIGNATED-AGENT-CITY-STATE-ZIP]
Phone: [DESIGNATED-AGENT-PHONE]

The Copyright Office’s public directory of designated agents is searchable at copyright.gov/dmca-directory.

Submitting a Notice of Alleged Infringement

A valid notice under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3) must include all of the following:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list, if multiple works at a single site are covered).
  3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with information reasonably sufficient to permit StageTile to locate it (a URL on stagetile.com is sufficient).
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit StageTile to contact the complaining party: address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

Notices that materially fail to satisfy these requirements may be disregarded. StageTile may request corrections rather than processing an incomplete notice.

Submitting a Counter-Notice

If material you posted has been removed in response to a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to the designated agent above. A valid counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3) must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which StageTile may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification or an agent of that person.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, StageTile will promptly provide a copy to the complainant and inform them that StageTile will restore the removed material not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after the counter-notice is received, unless StageTile first receives notice from the complainant that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

Repeat Infringers

StageTile reserves the right to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

Response

StageTile reviews DMCA notices and may request additional information before acting. StageTile does not commit to a published response time.
